The invention relates to the trans rting of agricultural implements over roug roads and other surfaces and provides a truck designed particularly for the transportation 6 of disk barrows, said truck having a platform associated therewith constitutini a "runway to facilitate the running of the ar- .row upon the truck and the running of the barrow from the truck, accordingly as 19 the implement is loaded upon or unloaded from the truck. i

Other objects and advantageswill be apparent andsuggest themselves as the nature of the invention is understood. a

15 While the drawings illustrate an embodi ment of the invention it is to be understood that in adapting the same to meet diflerent 'conditions and requirements, various changes in the form, proportion and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the-accompanying drawings forming a part of the application:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of a truck for 25 transporting disk harrows embodying the invention,

Figure 2 is a side View thereof, parts bro ken away, and v Figure 3 an end View. Corresponding and like parts fare referred to in the following description'and designated in the several views of the drawings by like reference characters.

r The bed of the truck comprises a frame having side bars 1 and end bars 1. Side bars 1 have their intermediate Portions on a plane lower than the plane of the bars 1 and their ends 1 inclined upwardly and inwardly to the ends of end bars 1. Lou gitudinal bars 2 connect and bars 1 and transverse bars 3 connect sidebars 1, said transverse bars .being on a plane lower than the plane of longitudinal bars 2 as clearly shown in Figure 3. The wheels i are mount ed in U-shaped frames'fi, which are pivoted if to other frames 6 bolted 'to the side bars 1.

It will thus be understood that the wheels 4 i have a caster effect, thereby enabling the truck tomake a'short turn. A platform c hstit11ti11g a runway, is adapted to be tacha-bly connected to either end of the bed and the disk harrow moves thereover when run upon or oil from-the truck. A pole orv tongue 8 is attached to the truck and the draft is applied thereto in any'usualway' t to %r.w the truck over the field or roadway. at is claimed is:

.& truck for transportin disk harrows, including a frame havin si. es and ends, the intermediate portions 0? the sides being in a lower plane than-the ends; the sides sujacent to the ends being inclined downwardly, longitudinal bars connecting the ends of the frame and in the samefplane therewith, and transversebars connecting the sides and arranged ina lo er plane than the plane of the longitudinal ,hars, said longitudinal bars being adapted to support the frame of a disk barrow and the 'transverse bars the edgesof the disks.
